2016–2023 Tacoma Catalytic Converter Shield – Bolt-On Theft Protection by Cali Raised LED

Yes. They replaced the original version I had with the updated version in the spring.

 

Nice! Did you have to remove your skid plate before installation and any rattling noises so far? Also why did you go with this option Over the Millercat?

 

Doesn't require removing the skid. Most affordable option from a good company were my reasons and less complicated install. All you need is something over them and this fits the bill. The new version doesn't have any rattles or noises. I bought the original version early pre order when they first started talking about them. I had the rattle with the 1st version. I contacted them once they resigned them and they shipped out a new set, free of charge. No problems since. There should be installation videos on there website, they definitely had one before. I would recommend it if you feel it's needed where you live and/or park overnight.

 

Thank you for your response! Much appreciated.

 

Please let us know if you need anything else!

 

Just want to give Feedback. First off customer service is awesome. They knew there was a problem and quickly fixed the issue and sent me a replacement. I had the 1st generation shield during the preorder back in 2022. Had no problems with install although it did touch my driver side catalytic converter which was said to be at the time normal as it was tested on one of their own trucks. Almost 2 years later I heard this annoying rattle. It was about 1100ish RPM and at idle at certain times. I never thought to look at the shield, but glad I did. See pics below as it rubbed a hole on the heat shield part. So who ever has the 1st gen shield. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Cali Raised ASAP for a replacement.

 

Thanks for this! I just sent them an email and got a reply in one minute. Seriously. I’ve never seen customer service so responsive.

EDIT: I got the confirmation on my replacements being “ordered” and covered under warranty within 5 minutes.

 

Thank you for the kind words!

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Thank you. I have purchased and installed in a couple weeks ago

 

Thats awesome!

Is there a way to tell the old version apart from the newer version?

 

Hey, send us a picture and we can figure it out for you! there are very slight differences, with pictures more than likely we can point it out.

 

Great job Caliraised, on protecting our tacomas

 

It's what we do best!

 

I'm still rocking version 1. LOL!

 

We really didn't change anything from the first version to the current one, Our engineers really nailed this one on the head!

We appreciate you choosing us, feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions!

 

I added these to the truck a few months back. Easier to install on the Tacoma then the 4Runner, but both are pretty easy

 

Thank you so much for choosing us, glad to hear the process went smoothly! Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

 

I have a newer version and would not know they are there- no noises or anything. Fit is good too. I used factory bolts instead of star bolts provided as they seemed weak.

 

Thanks for the feedback, it's always appreciated. Glad to hear you have been enjoying the shields.
